8' Fisher HD cutting edge

I just bought a new 8' Fisher HD plow for my truck. Its my first plow and have a few newbie questions, i noticed other fisher plows have the black cutting edge on the bottom and this one doesn't do i need to buy a cutting edge? Also what controller will come with the plow the fish stick or the other one? thanks ussmileyflag

You can run it for a while with out a cutting edge but, you will eventualy have to buy a cutting edge. I would suggest buying one before you eaven use the plow. You should have discused what controler was coming with the plow when you bought it. You can have either controler, it's up to you.

I would go with the fish stik. I know my friend got new 8 foot HD a plow about a month ago and aways had a joystick,but the fisher dealer talked him into a fish stik.Told him if he didn't like it he could bring it back and swap it for a joystick.I would put a cutting edge on it for sure I think the skids are pointless to use I drilled four holes in both skids and bolted on a set of dollys.

thanks for all the replies guys , i called the dealer i'm taking it to and they said around $170 for a new cutting edge. Hopefully this is something i can do myself idk if i want to shell out more money for labor just for putting on a new edge lol. Although its only money right? lol

Get some cutting edge bolts.Take a floor jack and center the cutting edge on floor jack then jack the cutting edge in place and put the bolts in and tighten the bolts with an impact gun.The best type of labor is free labor

I've never had to replace a cutting edge but I have replaced cutting edge bolts as the plow had carriage bolts in instead of cutting edge bolts.When you buy the cutting edge ask for bolts.I think I paid $20.00 for 8 bolts with lock washers and nuts.

std carriage bolts are grd 2 . farm equipment and construction and snow removale stuff is min grd 5 or 8 . if you use std off the local hardware store stuff you will pop bolts and loose a edge before you relise its gone.

Make sure you never cease the bolts on the cutting edge. We always have someone whack the head of the bolt with a two pound hammer while the person underneath hits it with the impact. I would have two guys do it. Each of you put a big screwdriver in the hole on your end to hold it temporarily and then put a couple bolts in to hold it. After that you are golden. Its really easy to do the hard part would be getting an old one off.....sometimes they can be stubborn, but since yours is new you dont have to worry about that.

sweetk is right I repainted my friends plow last season and he gave me new carriage bolts from HD for the cutting edge and I told him he needed cutting edge bolts and he wouldn't spend the money.After digging the cutting edge out of the snowbank he put cutting edge bolts.Must have been fun loading the edge into the bed of the truck alone.

I forgot the putting something in the holes to hold the edge in place.Thanks for catching that nepatsfan.How about the patriots against the giants sunday.I thought they had it won after they scored in the end of the 4th quarter.
